Rotating Boson Stars and Q–Balls — •Meike List¹, Jutta Kunz², and Burkhard Kleihaus² — ¹Universität Bremen, Am Fallturm, 28359 Bremen — ²Carl v. Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Postfach 2503, 26111 Oldenburg

We consider rotating boson stars, corresponding to rotating generalisations of the scalar soliton stars of Friedberg, Lee and Pang. They are axially symmetric and asymptotically flat. Their flat space limits represent spinning Q-balls.
